00:00Fighting wildfire means flying low, and that's why we have auger in cannon, our own little obstacle course.
00:07All you got to do is stay below the rim, and when you get to the bridge, fly under it,
00:11pull out.
00:12Flying low? No problem.
00:14Overconfidence, the kind of attitude that can get you killed.
00:27Okay, I'll let you make it under that bridge.
00:34Why'd you pull power? You got a fire wall. The bridge, it's too long to the pole.
00:38No excuses. If there'd been a downdraft, you'd be dead.
00:43Make a normal seaplane approach. Stay on the step while collecting water through the scoops.
00:47Just like that. Climb out, float it, return to your holding orbit, and drop as directed. Copy that?
00:52Copy that.
00:54Okay, you've got 12 to 15 seconds left, then 50 feet to climb out. Now watch out for the tree
00:59line.
00:59Indirect attack, parallel attack, direct attack.
01:02Know what your fire is doing at all times. Wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity.
01:06Finally, all aircraft must be on the ground 30 minutes after sunset.
01:10Flying low at night is the fastest way to get your picture on the wall.
01:13Flying low at night is the fastest way to get your picture on the wall.
01:16Too early.
01:19Too high.
01:22Too low.
01:23Those crops are yours. They die a lot.
01:35Approach looks good.
01:37Now increase your airspeed.
01:39Red light.
01:39Go to backstores.
01:42Don't back off.
01:43Don't back off.
01:45No, why'd you bail out again?
01:47If you don't push it, you're not gonna make it.
01:49And you won't be certified.
02:00Good job.
02:02You just saved those folks from a nice vacation.
02:07Propboss Junction to Dusty.
02:08Come in, Dusty.
02:10Propboss Junction to Dusty.
02:11Hey, Skipper.
02:12Hey, how we doing?
02:13This is tougher than I thought, but it is so good to hear from you.
02:17Well, we wanted to radio.
02:18Hey, Skipper, let me tell them.
02:19All right, Jack.
02:20Tell me what.
02:21Oh, okay.
02:21We know.
02:23No, I can't.
02:24You're not a smart time.
02:25Well, so, okay, there's this fellow out in California.
02:28The Skipper and I know him from back when we were stationed in Coronado.
02:32So we all used to go down to Baja.
02:34No, no, no.
02:35But there was this one time when we went to this bar, and Skipper put a blitzker and coconuts on
02:41his...
02:41Right, right, okay.
02:42Sorry, sorry.
02:43The point is, he has one of your...
02:45Gearboxes.
02:46We got the gearboxes.
02:47We got the gearboxes.
02:48Are you kidding me?
02:49Wait, it gets better.
02:50He's gonna ship it out.
02:52Dude, that's what happened in a couple days.
02:54This is the best news.
02:55This is just what I needed to hear right now.
02:57I'll let you know as soon as we get it.
02:58Hey, Dusty, listen to my new siren.
03:13Yeah, I haven't actually hooked up his siren yet.
03:19I gotta go, guys.
